Where to Go on Weekends in Irvine

Newport Beach One-Day Trip Guide 🐋 Stop 1: Whale Watching at Davey's Locker📍 Address: 400 Main St, Newport Beach, CA 92661🚤 I chose a speedboat tour, which costs around $80 🔪. Buy tickets in advance on the official website. After picking up your tickets at the small booth, wait in line in front of the sign.⚠️ TIPS: Be sure to wear extra clothes! Windproof and waterproof clothing is even better. 🍽️ Stop 2: Balboa Lily’s 📍 Address: 711 E Balboa Blvd, Newport Beach, CA 92661☕ We popped into this brunch spot randomly after getting back to shore, and it was surprisingly delicious!💰 Average cost per person: $15–25 🎨 Stop 3: Lido Marina Village 📍 Address: 3434 Via Lido, Newport Beach, CA 92663🏝 There are many retro-style small shops here. The atmosphere is super chill—perfect for taking photos 📸 and shopping! Note that the prices are on the higher side. 🛍️ Stop 4: Fashion Island 📍 Address: 401 Newport Center Dr, Newport Beach, CA 92660🛒 Experience: It’s a huge shopping mall with a wide range of brands.
